Removing Preview Pane for Outlook 2002/XP

[Dave Leonardi]

Greetings

I am trying to remove the preview pane on Outlook XP/2002 from 300
laptops via group policy, but have had no luck. I have imported and tried
using the .ADM Template, OUTLK10.ADM offered and set Preview Pane to
disabled but it does not seem to work. I used gpresult and all laptops are
receiving there policies. If anyone could offer a possible solution,
whether it is via Group Policy or another method I would greatly apreciate
it. Thanks for your assistance.

Why would you want to remove the Preview Pane?

Judy,

I need to disable preview pane on a number of computers. I do not want my
end users automatically opening emails without discretion.

Thanks.
Dave

The Reading Pane doesn't completely open messages and you are in zero danger
of infecting a PC via the Reading Pane.

You didn't answer my question... why don't you want them using the Reading
Pane?

As brian said, the virus issues it had are way old hat - no longer relevant
to current versions.
